THE HYPNOTIC EYE (1960). >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

An absolutely boffo opening (very much like HORRORS OF THE BLACK MUSEUM) quickly becomes tedious (see last parenthesis) as an incredibly dense detective (He probably would have trouble finding a Dunkin' Donuts) is investigating a series of lovely women killing themselves in horrible ways and the common denominator for all of them involves them visiting a hypnotist (incredibly dismal sort) whose lovely assistant Alison Hayes-the main reason I watched- picks out volunteers from the audience.
This had potential to be pretty good and it just doesn't take advantage of the plot point and although the ending is kind of tough, there really should have been a back story of how and why; it truly might have helped. **
